About The Blacksmith Eatery & Bar

The Blacksmith Eatery and Bar opened in June 2014 in Takanini and is family owned, with strong ties to South Auckland. The name pays tribute to the area's history of horse training.

It serves coffee, brunch, lunch and dinner and is known for its BBQ ribs, with an all-day menu, a kids menu, a weekend brunch menu, trivia nights and daily deals. Takeaway and table bookings are available.

The space is open, heated in winter and air conditioned in summer, with plentiful parking, and it is wheelchair friendly. A mezzanine floor and a private room can be hired for events and parties, with buffet catering, and birthday cakes can be brought in at no extra charge.
